Just under 3,600lbs, actually... nearly 300lbs lighter than the new Camaro SS .

Listed curb weight for the BASE GT is 3603.

Curb weight for the camaro is listed at 3849 and 3860. (M6)

About 250 lbs.

Similarly optioned the difference is closer to 200 lbs.

Not ever 10 pass was. They did a few N/A. The car that was doing it with spray was a different color was it not?

Scientists are still performing tests but you may just be as dense as a black hole.

Still waiting to see how much weight was taken out and what fuel was used.

ThisBlood147

If they really made this 10 second pass with a stock motor and no nitrous, my guess is that they took quite a bit of weight out some where (even though they claim to still have a full interior). Not sure how much you can take out of an S197 chassis without chopping it....so I'm kinda interested to see what the race weight was.

The car is fast like it our not.This car shattered everyone's opinion on what they thought this little motor was capable of.Thats a little hard to swallow after being the undisputed bad *** motor ever made for what 12ve years.I will give Chevy that.But now its a different story,now they gotta be envious when they say 12.80's was bad *** with the stock air filter.Every half *** gt owner can do that now.Chevy will try to come back but they have to loose some weight.Why not make a retro nova with an ls3 solid rear axle 3200 lbs then it truly would be game over.The playing field has changed a bit....

Strictly Performance just went 9.96 @ 137 today. Hopefully there will be a video added soon! This is the first one in the 9's

Just go to EVO's website guy and read up. You'll see that NOBODY knows what has been taken out of the car. The ONLY info given out is it's a N/A pass with a more aggressive tune (maybe race gas) and some weight taken out of the car. That is it lol, all this guessing, and EVO shady with their mod lists is getting out of control. It is what it is, and the full story will be released in this August issues of MM & FF. take 2 sec and look it up

We got one in the 9's now, I'm also smart enough not to start a new thread.

Music in the vid gay, pulled following info from local forum:

Congrats to Richard Lelsz and Strictly Performance on running the first 9-second run with a 2011 5.0L Mustang GT.

The shop swapped out the stock six-speed manual trans for a C4 and then he plumbed a direct port nitrous system. Using prototype tuning software, Lelsz threw down 656 rwhp this morning on the dyno.

The white GT features upper and lower control arms, Bogarts all around, and the aforementioned parts.

Tonight during Test And Tune at Houston Raceway Park, Lelsz ran 9.96 at 137 mph right off the trailer! Congrats to the entire team on running so quickly with the shop ride and pushing the boundary even further.

That car is flying! Iam still waiting to see a camaro do that with no cam,no heads,with IRS and just spray!

DiscerningZ32

That will never happen. Simply because a motor with no heads or cam won't run...

But seriously, the right cam can be cheap and lead to even greater numbers with spray; it would be retarded to not swap it out.


That mustang is hauling *** though!

So much for the statement that the new 5.0 wont take to mods as well as the 5th gen.

Very nice all out effort work done by a shop.

here's video of a all out effort done by another shop. If the work is put in you can get the same results in either car

ThisBlood147

I always find it funny how many ppl on these boards will agree with this statement, but then will turn around and still try to make the case that one car is better than the other. I think it's been proven definitively now that both the new GT and the new Camaro will get it done down the strip with the right work done (and really....the same can be said for ANY car). They are both comparable stock, and they both get it done quite nicely both with and without power adders. Period.

So why are there still so many arguments? Oh.........I forgot........the never ending presence of fanboys.
